Broadlink_MQTT_IR-Bridge

Broadlink_MQTT_IR-Bridge

Docker app from FreakErn's Repository

Overview

A tool to send MQTT commands to control Infrared Devices. Just simply get a cheap Broadlink rm mini 3, configure it with the Broadlink e-control app, get the Ip and the Mac address, and you can just simply record and replay Infrared commands through the network. (The device does not need internet access after it is configured through the App - just block the internet in your internet router if you want) Just send a message to the topic: "broadlink/some/naming/path" with the payload: "record" and the system is in recording mode. To resend the IR-Code, just send to the topic "broadlink/some/naming/path" the payload "replay" and the Broadlink device will send the IR-Signal. For additional configuration you can create a custom.conf file, with additional parameter and link it here in the "Custom config file Path". It'll override the default values.
